We had the good fortune of connecting with Carlos Garrido and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carlos, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The goal changes over time. At first it was “just get it off the ground and provide a living”. Then; “provide a better living”. Then; “lets supercharge this!”. I’m never satisfied. But I love the puzzle of business. It’s a perfect combination and test of psychology, economics, finance, human behavior, creativity, discipline, intelligence, risk management, partnership.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Our Sales Training, Coaching, and Consulting team uniquely combines the Sandler Selling Methodology with our own innovative insights, focusing on the deep understanding of human behavior to enhance sales, leadership, and personal growth. Navigating through challenges with resilience and a learning mindset, we’ve grown by valuing the human factor in selling; the human both at the buy side and the sell side. We’re not just about improving sales results; we’re about transforming lives and businesses. Our journey reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and the profound impact of genuine human connections. It wasn’t easy, Elon Musk describes Entrepreneurship as like “staring into the abyss and eating glass!” … and I think he understates it. It wasn’t easy but it was definitely worth it.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
It depends if they were here with family or solo but some highlights would include: A day on the boat
Biking to Matheson Hammock
Biking around south beach
Day at the beach
If there is a good show on at the Archt
Perez Art
Dinner at redfish
Dinner in the Grove
Lunch at Morada Bay Cafe
A visit to Viscaya

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
There are 2 stand-out A-Listers in the cast: My wife Carolina who stuck by me and this crazy journey of Entrepreneurship even when it looked doomed. And Antonio; my brother, my co-founder, and now since his retirement, my consiglieri. But the list isn’t limited to those, my wonderful children who have given up countless weekends, my amazing team who give 110% every day, my amazing clients who teach me way more than I teach them, and my Sandler Network.
